Dude, are you serious? A point by point refute? Write a good review and learn to use evidence for your points. I didn't say you couldn't be opinionated, I said your opinions are unjustified because they lack evidence worth reading. Like I said, attention whore review written because you don't know how to find anything wrong with the album.

I must say, it's really an honour to be hated by so many. I've never gotten so many death-threats in my life. Then, suddenly, I say an album is "average", and suddenly I'm Public Enemy #1.



Whatevz. I gave my reasons. If you don't like the review, I understand. But don't call it an attention whore review, because this is my honest opinion, and I felt I backed it up.

After finally reading this hype machine of a review, I must say it feels like an attention-whore affair. I mean, I don't really like TMV outside of Frances, and even I thought you were just digging for things and hence being repetitive.

Kinda like it was so wrong (yet right at the same time) the way I felt your sister last night.

what, you think you're the first to ever call a popular album average? There are people that do those reviews right and others that do it wrong. You are on the latter portion of that spectrum.

The more and more I read into your profile, you seem like an attention whore. You said you were going to enjoy ripping this album a new asshole then shoving it full of firecrackers.



2.5?



You rip the album a new one (unrightfully) in the review, and then give it a 2.5. If an average album makes you hate a band, you must hate some really great bands, there buddy. Not every band can hit it out of the park every time.



You're an attention whore.



And now looking at your album ratings dude...you gave De-Loused and Amp a 2.5, so let me guess De-Loused made you hate TMV too?This Message Edited On 01.26.08

ok honestly these arguments are getting quite stupid. Stop attacking him personally, if you want to, simply create a list of the worst users on sputnik. srsly guys, if you're gonna say something, talk about how the review doesn't make sense to you, rather than why he likes the bands that he likes.

[quote=isitirony?]simply create a list of the worst users on sputnik.[/quote] Bamophets is kinda blah aside from the bass solo, for me.

i gotta say, while i still don't know if i agree with it yet (cause i havent heard anywhere near the whole disc), this review seems to be the best of this album i've read so far on the internet. And i've read a number of them.

When I made the "tear this album a new asshole" comment, I was still in the process of writing a first draft review. After many re-writes, and some tough thinking, I decided I was being too harsh on the album and changed my rating to a 2.5.



That's the story behind that. Now can we just drop the whole "He's an attention whore" deal? I wrote the review to give a different opinion of an album. With both of the other review being 4.5s, I figured I might as well represent those who don't like the album.



I submitted this review because I enjoy writing. Not because I want to become noticed for disliking a band. Honestly, who the hell submits a review for attention? Are you serious? What has this review done for me positively? Thanks to all the neg's, my approval rating is down, my integrity is in question, and the commenter above me wants me to choke and die.



You know what? I'm just fed up with all this crap. I've tried to be fairly calm about all of this, but when my integrity as a writer and as a person is called into question, I get pretty pissed. I'm tired of the attacks on my character. I'm tired of those who read one sentence of my review (namely the "hate TMV" part, which I LATER CONTRADICT IN THE NEXT SENTENCE) and say I'm a hypocrite with my rating.



I know why I submitted my review, and I'm sick of trying to justify it to everyone. That's it. End of rant.

TBIG made you hate TMV? 2.5's a little hypocritical with your rating.

I have some albums I've rated a 2.5 that I hate more than ones I've rated a 2. There's nothing "hypocritical" about it.


Yes, but one average album making you hate a band is a little extreme
